S18.3 The Keeper's Role
Section 79(1) of the Act provides that:
" A land transaction to which this section applies or (as the case may be) a document effecting or evidencing a land transaction to which this section applies, shall not be registered, recorded or otherwise reflected in an entry made – in Scotland, in any register maintained by the Keeper of the Registers of Scotland unless there is produced, together with the relevant application, a certificate as to compliance with the requirements of the Part in relation to the transaction"
Accordingly the Keeper can only accept a deed for recording if it is accompanied by the appropriate certificate. It is emphasised that Sasine Intake staff will examine each deed to determine whether it should be accompanied by a certificate. If the application requires a certificate and no certificate has been submitted the deed will be rejected.
Registers of Scotland (RoS) seeks to ensure that the information published in the Sasines Manual is up to date and accurate but it may be amended from time to time.
The Manual is an internal document intended for RoS staff only. The information in the Manual does not constitute legal or professional advice and RoS cannot accept any liability for actions arising from its use.
